Introduction	One of my very favorite books, Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, begins with Lawrence Selden unexpectedly encountering his friend Lily Bart in Grand Central Station. "Selden paused in surprise," the novel's first sentence reads. I have a one-year-old little boy, and I spend a lot of time pausing in surprise these days, as I help him narrate what he sees and realize that the world is full of unexpected wonder. This blog is mainly about the things, big and little, exciting and mundane, that make me pause in the midst of my time with my son to think, or wonder, or laugh. It is also sometimes about books, language, or food, and the other things I'm talking to myself about.
